Drinking On The Job?

What would happen to you if you were found to be chemically impaired while performing your duties, on your job?

The internet is abuzz with this video of what appears to be a slightly intoxicated Sen. Max Baucus of Montana. He's the blue dog Democrat who is one of the driving forces in advancing this farce they call a healthcare bill.

See what you think:

Many times, drunk people tend to slur their words. They also tend to iterate and reiterate, rant and rave, and generally repeat themselves over and over. If you listen to the entire video, you will note that Sen. Baucus is guilty on all of these counts.

And although it is not possible to prove in a court of law that he was drunk on the Senate floor without a blood alcohol test, it does raise some interesting questions for his constituency to ponder. But sadly, they just re-elected this guy to another six year term, in 2008. They are stuck with him for awhile, as is the rest of the nation.

How many other senators in the past (and present) have been reelcted despite their obvious drunken states while in session?

and

How many people still care about who sits in those seats? Because it seems to me that not very many people are paying attention any more.

What a pitiful and sad state of affairs our congress is in now. Much different than our foundings. It would be interesting to see the responses of the originators of this country, while viewing the current bums in office.

At the very least Baucus and many others are "drunk with power and greed". I am not totally convinced that our country isn't so dominated by stupidity that we are not done. I guess we will find out in 2010.

Al Franken (the idiot from Minnesota/Hollyweird) has got away with unprecedented, rude stupidity so far! We won't be getting rid of him anytime soon. I just can't believe what a stupid, moonbat state MN is to have elected a moron like Franken. I know many patriots there, especially those active with the PGR. It is obvious they would have to "cheat" to elect him and have a court system loaded with koolaid drinking, do nothing moonbats to elect him.

The weird thing is he was still making some sense of his boilerplate talking points. So deep they are ingrained, I guess.

Since he brought up Teddy K, too bad he didn't put on a ball cap sideways and go over and hug DeMint or Lieberman, then collapse face forward into the lap of a female staffer, yelling "F you" to Leahy as he was falling.
